Nosferatu's Bill Skarsgård was so happy to shed the Orlok character when filming wrapped: "It was an immense sense of relief"

Nosferatu.

New horror movie Nosferatu retells the chilling story of Count Orlok, an ancient vampire who becomes obsessed with a young woman. Based on the 1922 silent German short film – which in turn is based on Dracula – Robert Eggers' gothic drama stars Bill Skarsgård as the titular vampire in what has been called a transformative performance.

Clad in full prosthetics for the role, the It actor deepened his voice and went through intense preparation to play Count Orlok. And as he tells GamesRadar+, this meant it was an immense relief when filming wrapped and he could shed the darkness.
